Dec. 14th at 10.30am Christingle Service

A large congregation attended our Christingle Service and everyone everyone enjoyed making and lighting their Christingle.

We learned of the significance of the orange, the ribbon, the sticks and the sweeties and that the candle in the middle represents Jesus, the Light of the World.

Children and adults delighted in making their Christingles and, after the service, took them home, to remind their families that Jesus is the Light of the World.

Dec. 21st at 10.30am Carol Service

Everyone enjoyed the Service of Carols and Redongs as we sang the well-known carols that tell the Christmas story. The Bethlehem Carol Service Sheets were used. A donation of £6o.00 was sent for the work of Embrace which tackles poverty and injustice in the Middle East..

Dec 25th at 10.00am Christmas Morning Service

..

Our service at 10.00am on Christmas morning was a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ in a crude stable in Bethlehem over 2000 years ago. The service was led by the Revd. James Church, our United Reformed Minister.

Families, friends and relations came together for this joyous celebration.

Members of the congregation brought along one of their Christmas presents to show to the congregation during the service
